How to use Twitter – Lisa Stevens

Are you a Twit or a Tweep?

In this session we will explore the phenomenon that is Twitter. We will look at practicalities such as how to tweet and make a list and which app/site is ‘best’ as well as unraveling some of

mystery of hashtags, DMs, full stops, lists and #FF.

We will also look at why Twitter is an invaluable tool for so many and how it might work in a learning environment and

international project. If you attend this session, you really will learn “how to make friends and influence people.”
